Ten calves (Group A) were given topical treatment (Pyodine 10 % and Neomycin Sulphate and Bacitracin Zinc) twice a day for five days 10 calves (Group B) were given parenteral therapy (Amoxicillin and Meloxicam) for five days 10 calves (Group C) were given both topical and parenteral therapy for five days and 10 calves (Group D) were kept as a positive control. Among group A B and C calves the percentage recovery was 43 43.45 and 84% respectively. Among group (D) calves one died and three had maggots in their wounds.
